Who were the jujitsuffragettes?

In the early twentieth century, women in England demanded the right to vote―and faced violent retaliation. Rather than back down, the suffragist group Women's Social and Political Union formed its own security unit. Edith Garrud, a pioneering self-defense instructor, trained them to fight back against abuse and arrest while pursuing long-overdue rights.

This graphic retelling of Garrud's life reveals the resilience and (often physical) resistance of her era's voting-rights activists. Featuring an introduction from Elsa Dorlin (Self-Defense: A Philosophy of Violence), The Bodyguard Unit explores an explosive stage of the fight for suffrage.

Work Description

En 1910, les suffragettes anglaises d'Emmeline Pankhurst doivent affronter la répression policière. Leur arme ? Retourner la violence des attaquants contre eux-mêmes, grâce au jujitsu afin de remporter la victoire : le droit de vote en 1918 !

Edith Garrud est considérée comme la première formatrice d'autodéfense féministe. Face à la violence subie par les manifestantes, elle va former au jujitsu les gardes du corps d'E. Pankhurst, surnommées « Les Amazones ». À coup de clés de bras et de crocsen- jambes, les suffragettes bousculent les mentalités, bottent les fesses des réactionnaires et démontrent la force du « sexe faible ».
